ABOUT
Chris "Bull" Brom
Every parent/teacher conference when I was a kid included the same report: "Chris is really smart, and he does a great job completeing his school work, but he really needs to stop talking all the time." Little did they know that I would go on to make a living out of talking all the time. Over the past decade, I've been blessed to be a part of the broadcast industry in the small town I grew up in. In that time I've learned more than I can possibly imagine, and I've developed skills that can translate across multiple facets of radio and television.
​
Below are some highlights of my experience in radio, including on-air work, operations, logistics, programming, and even sales.
